A new pathway for the placement of the interposed colon in esophagocolonoplasty is described. In a patient with a peptic stricture and a history of previous coronary artery bypass operation and multiple thoracotomies, the interposed colon was placed in the parasternal right intrapleural space successfully. This avoided a thoracotomy as well as the areas of adhesion. Technical details are described.
